In the true spirit and tradition of troubadours of yore, John Wallace Morris has been around.  He's served the navy in times of war, travelled and lived abroad, and walked across the U.S. on foot.  Twice.  It's that traveling spirit and lust for experience that inspire him.  It's conveyed in his music; a blend of storytelling and emotive musicianship, with his own unique, finger-style instrumentation and deep, expressive vocals, that aims to invite the listener in.  His sound is as varied as his influences, but draws on the more classic sounds of folk and country.

J.W. Morris

A bluesy little 12 bar number of mine. All instruments besides the guitars were homemade, including my cigar box lap drum, penny-and-tomato can snare, and rebuilt foot tambourine.

Sombrero

J.W. Morris

A bit of a fantastical dip on this one -- check out the video for it on YouTube, as I wanted a more dynamic video for this song, so I played with some photos at different points from my life, adding a halo of sorts. I hope you enjoy! Much love
